DNScrypt Help debugging dnscrypt-proxy2 crashes

[sbsnb]

I think that error is related to user 'nobody' not being able to access the tmp file. I've never seen that error before today.

I tried installing the amtm version and for some reason my SSH session was terminated in the middle of the install. Now I can't seem to uninstall it. No matter how many times I tell it to uninstall, it shows in amtm as installed.

All the files are still there, but uninstall refuses to do anything.

I tried rebooting the router and re-installing and trying to uninstall. Still no luck.

Option 9 did it.

I think the uninstall everything broke something. Now I can't use OPKG to do anything. This is what I get:

admin@RT-AX86U-AA28:/jffs# opkg update
Downloading https://bin.entware.net/aarch64-k3.10/Packages.gz
*** Failed to download the package list from https://bin.entware.net/aarch64-k3.10/Packages.gz

Collected errors:
 * opkg_download: Failed to download https://bin.entware.net/aarch64-k3.10/Packages.gz, wget returned 5.

All better now. After uninstalling my time wouldn't sync. Manually forcing a sync fixed it.

Then I had a vague recollection that I used to have a similar problem years ago and I had to put the PREARGS="nohup" in /etc/init.d/S09dnscrypt-proxy. Trying that now.

Apparently not an unusual problem.

That is because you have to use 9 to completely remove all the install.

You have to make sure dnsmasq is set with no-resolv option

You have to chown nobody:nobody the server file and server.md to set right permissions because dnscrypt proxy fails to do this after downloading

dnsmasq does have no-resolv. It's in the default config file (not in dnsmasq.config.add).

I don't know what a server file is, but the opennic.md and the minisign file are the only thing that appear to be generated. I can try those. For the time being, though, we've ruled out running as 'nobody' curing the issue. Since there's no error in the logs I'm presuming something is closing dnscrypt-proxy on purpose, I just don't know how to find out what or why.

I believe you are into something


nohup as pre args
And
>/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null &

At the end of the launch config command

I didn't write the >/dev/null 2>&1 </dev/null & thing. Where did that come from?

That is a recommendation to try at the end of the command line for launching arguments.

My current working theory is that when the router gets close to 100% memory something is killing dnscrypt-proxy. It is by far the largest consumer of ram on the system.
